I carry around an inner "Jeanne Moreau" wherever I go.

When I have a poem or story idea in my head, it's as if I've been bitten by the love bug.

I absolutely love Eudora Welty.

Other favorites: Alice Munro, Jamaica Kincaid, Jane Austen, Colette, Flannery O'Connor, Katherine Mansfield, & Edna Ferber

Two of my favorite poems are THE WORD PLUM by Helen Chasin and LEATHER BOYS by CB Follett

Two of my favorite stories: A&P (John Updike) and Why I live at the P.O. (Eudora Welty)

My work (poetry/stories) can be found in the Best New Poets Anthology (2007) and online at Umbrellajournal.com (2008 summerissue), BigCityLit.com (spring 2007 issue), and storyscapejournal.com (August 2008 issue).
